Little girls really enjoy it when you put flowers in their hair. It makes them feel pretty. So I've begun picking daisies to have in the truck. It's often that extra touch that brings the customers back for more.

Not all children have money for ice cream. But I don't wish to deny even the poorest child my special treats. So I've come up with a system whereby the children can earn the ice cream by doing little tasks. My favorite so far is having them hose down the outside of the truck and then scrub it with giant foam sponges. Poor children love spraying each other with hoses.

Today I found a pleasant suburban street with plenty of children playing outdoors. I parked my ice cream truck in the shade provided by a large tree, and decided to spend the afternoon relaxing, enjoying the sights and sounds. It was an affluent neighborhood, and the children had plenty of money on hand with which to purchase my special treats.

This afternoon I went to the grocery store to stock up on frozen treats. In my excitement about this trip, I had neglected to purchase any ice cream. After a morning of explaining that I actually had nothing for sale, I decided to take a quick drive to the store. The second half of the day was even more enjoyable, and slightly profitable.

The warm weather is finally here, which means that children all over the
country will be coming outdoors to play. It also means time for
adventure. This year I've decided to take a couple of weeks to explore a little of the country in my ice cream truck. I've got the truck all packed, with sleeping bags for comfort and restraints for safety. I also have maps with lots of secluded, wooded areas marked for enjoyment and exploration.

Grandmother is helping by sponsoring this trip. In return, I will be posting some updates from the road. Wherever children are playing, I will be there.
